(cherry picked from commit 06af1c52c9ea234e0b1266cc0b52c3e0c6c8fe9f) The current lz4 compress buffer is 16kb on 32-bits, 32kb on 64-bits system. But, lz4 needs only 16kb on both. On 64-bits, this causes wasted cpu cycles for additional memset during every compression. In case of lz4hc, the current buffer size is (256kb + 8) on 32-bits, (512kb + 16) on 64-bits. But, lz4hc needs only (256kb + 2 * pointer) on both. This patch fixes these wrong compress buffer sizes for 64-bits.

Every current KDE system has process named ksysguardd polling files
below once in several seconds:
$ strace -e trace=open -p $(pidof ksysguardd)
Process 1812 attached
open("/etc/mtab", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 8
open("/etc/mtab", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 8
open("/proc/net/dev", O_RDONLY) = 8
open("/proc/net/wireless", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/proc/stat", O_RDONLY) = 8
open("/proc/vmstat", O_RDONLY) = 8
Hell knows what it is doing but speed up reading /proc/vmstat by 33%!
Benchmark is open+read+close 1.000.000 times.

vsnprintf() is slow because:
1. format_decode() is busy looking for format specifier: 2 branches
per character (not in this case, but in others)
2. approximately million branches while parsing format mini language
and everywhere
3. just look at what string() does /proc/vmstat is good case because
most of its content are strings

Measured latency within the kernel driver has been fluctuating between 2~7ms. Elevating the workqueues has made it more consistently in the 2~4ms range. alloc_ordered_workqueue() still makes the workqueue singlethreaded (internal __WQ_ORDERED flag), so this commit only adds WQ_HIGHPRI additionally.

[ Upstream commit 9f8a7658bcafb2a7853f7a2eae8a94e87e6e695b ] When a user timer instance is continued without the explicit start beforehand, the system gets eventually zero-division error like: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC KASAN CPU: 1 PID: 27320 Comm: syz-executor Not tainted 4.8.0-rc3-next-20160825+ #8 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 task: ffff88003c9b2280 task.stack: ffff880027280000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff858e1a6c>] [< inline >] ktime_divns include/linux/ktime.h:195 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff858e1a6c>] [<ffffffff858e1a6c>] snd_hrtimer_callback+0x1bc/0x3c0 sound/core/hrtimer.c:62 Call Trace: <IRQ> [< inline >] __run_hrtimer kernel/time/hrtimer.c:1238 [<ffffffff81504335>] __hrtimer_run_queues+0x325/0xe70 kernel/time/hrtimer.c:1302 [<ffffffff81506ceb>] hrtimer_interrupt+0x18b/0x420 kernel/time/hrtimer.c:1336 [<ffffffff8126d8df>] local_apic_timer_interrupt+0x6f/0xe0 arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:933 [<ffffffff86e13056>] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x76/0xa0 arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:957 [<ffffffff86e1210c>] apic_timer_interrupt+0x8c/0xa0 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:487 <EOI> ..... Although a similar issue was spotted and a fix patch was merged in commit [6b760bb2c63a: ALSA: timer: fix division by zero after SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_CONTINUE], it seems covering only a part of iceberg. In this patch, we fix the issue a bit more drastically. Basically the continue of an uninitialized timer is supposed to be a fresh start, so we do it for user timers. For the direct snd_timer_continue() call, there is no way to pass the initial tick value, so we kick out for the uninitialized case.

Thanks! Needs to be tested to see if does not introduce any regressions.
